Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At 247marylandinsurance.com, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sweepstakes casino games should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you choose to participate, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your state) to participate in sweepstakes casino games. Participation by minors is prohibited. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
- Constantly thinking about gaming or past gaming experiences
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop or reduce gaming
- Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money lost
- Hiding gaming activity from family, friends, or loved ones
- Lying about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Using gaming to escape problems or relieve stress
- Borrowing money to fund gaming activities
- Continuing to game despite negative consequences (financial, relationship, or health-related)
- Failing repeatedly at attempts to stop or control gaming
Self-Help Tools & Resources
Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to spend during a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Reality Checks: Enable reminders that notify you of how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a temporary break from gaming for a set duration
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for an extended period
Use these tools to keep your gaming experience safe and enjoyable.
